Legacy in Practice
This podcast series takes you on foot through towns and cities across the UK, telling the stories of major projects where community voices shaped real outcomes. Recorded while walking through the places themselves, each episode brings together the people behind the decisions to reflect honestly on what happened — the tensions, the trade-offs, and the lessons learned. No theory, no jargon. Just real conversations, in real places, about how communities, councils and partners work together to shape the places we live.

Legacy in Practice Ep 2 Homes for the NHS with Eugene Prinsloo

In this episode of Legacy in Practice, Oliver Deed is joined by Eugene Prinsloo, Development Director at Community Health Partnerships, to reflect on a project where early engagement was tested by organised opposition.
Recorded on location, the conversation moves from the foundations of stakeholder mapping and relationship-building to the realities of navigating community resistance. Together, they explore how structured engagement, sequencing conversations correctly, and maintaining discipline under pressure can shift the tone of a project.
This is a candid discussion about conflict, trust, and what it actually takes to move from objection to progress, without compromising integrity.
A practical case study in engagement under scrutiny.
This episode is part of the E.C.F. podcast series, exploring how community engagement shapes real places.
